Best Bicycle Bells

Bonmixc Brass Mini Bike Bell is small but mighty. With its loud yet sweet ding, the bell will notify everyone around you that you're coming. Thanks to the single screw connecting the bell to tubes between 0.83 and 0.9 inches, the model does not present any installation challenges (though the part that connects the bell to handlebars is pretty small, so it might take you a minute to adjust).

We like the bell's old-school appearance but what we like even more is its sturdy construction. Incorporating a brass dome, the model boasts high compressive strength and excellent anti-corrosion properties. It also does not bend as easily as its aluminum and plastic counterparts. While the brass part is making the bell look elegant and ensuring its sturdiness, the PP part eliminates burrs and lets you install this model within 1-2 minutes.

Despite its traditional profile, the bell from Bonmixc is compatible with just about any standard straight bike, MTB, BMX, and even stunt scooters.

All things considered, Bonmixc Brass Mini Bike Bell embraces the future without denying the past, keeping the sound sweet yet loud and the build elegant yet rugged. Plus, thanks to its reduced size, the bell leaves more space for different gadgets (like bike computers).

Vanfrost Electronic Bike Horn disregards the traditional, mechanical approach. Needless to say, that earns the bell multiple advantages and disadvantages. On the advantages' subject, the horn lets you choose between three sound modes: whistle sounds, horn sounds, and alarm sounds. In addition to that, unlike its mechanical competition, the bell lets you adjust its loudness, with the maximum setting reaching 120 decibels, making sure that even drivers listening to music with windows closed will not miss the horn. Last but not least, this electronic horn weighs 40 grams (1.4 ounces), whereas mechanical bells usually weigh at least twice that.

The biggest disadvantage is that you have to recharge this device, not on an especially frequent basis since the 280 mAh battery should let you ring somewhere around 2500 times but the fact remains. Also, the bell takes more time and effort to install than regular bicycle bells. Those bells are not boasting an IP65 enclosure though, protecting the circuitry from dust and even the most considerable downpours.

Bottom line, we can recommend Vanfrost Electronic Bike Horn to those riders who like fiddling with different details and playing with different settings.

Accmor Classic Bike Bell is pretty much what the name implies: a classic bicycle horn without any bells and whistles (intended, we assure you). Thanks to its compact profile, the model fits even the smallest BMXs, with diameters ranging between 0.83 and 0.86 inches.

Construction-wise, the bell leaves mixed feelings. On the one hand, made from high-quality aluminum and plastic, this horn will not start forming rust patches and showing corrosion signs even when stored in a humid garage. On the other hand, the aluminum part here is quite thin and, thus, easily bendable, so we would recommend proceeding with caution. 

Apart from that, again, this is a classic bicycle bell, with a classic appearance and a familiar crisp sound that's both loud and clear. Plus, you can choose between 10+ different colors, picking the bell in a suitable color to go well with the bike's paintwork. Finally, even people without prior experience should be able to install this bike bell in 2 minutes tops, so you will not be wasting too much time setting it up.

In short, provided you do not want/need much from a bell, Accmor Classic Bike Bell will not disappoint you. It is affordable, loud, easy to install, and fits most bikes without presenting any challenges.

Pioneeryao Bike Bell is not pioneering anything, so we cannot get behind the company's name, not this time anyway. Still, this horn is not a bad one, not at all. Made from a high-strength copper alloy and shipped with two different stainless steel lock plates, the bell will fit most bicycles, from road bikes to BMXs. Using the less narrow plate, you will even be able to fit tubes on the handlebars with diameters around 1.2-1.25 inches.

From most angles, the bell looks good, nothing like its cheap plastic counterparts and, thanks to the aforementioned construction, this one can take a considerable beating, so you do not have to worry about accidentally dropping the bike and damaging the horn.

What you can worry about is that, even though advertised as "bright and loud", the 'ring' sound that the bell produces is not quite as loud as one would expect, so we would not suggest waiting until the very last moment before pressing the bell. The good news is that the lever on this horn can be comfortably used both by lefties and right-handed users.

In other words, Pioneeryao Bike Bell is a versatile bicycle horn that matches aesthetics with longevity, making it an attractive option for most riders but especially those who prefer bikes with fat tires.

As much as we appreciate good puns and quality wordplay, "incredibell" is plain lazy and the people at Mirrycle are not designing anything close to miracles, so Mirrycle Incredibell Original Bicycle Bell does not receive any bonus points based on its name alone.

We'll give credit where it is due though, starting with the model' space-saving design measuring just 7 x 4.5 x 2.5 inches. To add more, made from high-strength brass and plastic, this horn is protected from deformation, so you can ride as hard as you want without worrying that one fall might signal the bell's demise. Also, featuring anti-skid rubberized coating, the bell is prevented from sliding down the handles and will not leave any scratch marks even on chrome-treated bikes.

On the less bright side, the bell is not quite as easy to use as others. To elaborate, you have to push down the spring-loaded lever with considerable effort. Otherwise, the bell will not produce a single 'ding' with a beautifully resonant 'ring' sound, which would be a shame.

Cutting to the chase, considering the reasonable price, the compact size, and the well-thought-out construction, Mirrycle Incredibell Original Bicycle Bell makes quite an appealing case.
